Computer systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire, in the course of their normal operation, certain personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols.
This information is not collected for the purpose of being associated with identified data subjects, but by its very nature could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, enable users to be identified. Below you will find information about the nature of the data collected online and the various ways in which you can influence the collection and use of this information on the site. This cookie policy in particular explains what cookies are and how they are used; the types of cookies used on this site; what information is collected using these cookies and how this information is used. Moreover, information is provided to enable you to control your cookie preferences at any time. Each user of this website is always allowed to entirely change or withdraw the consent given previously by using the appropriate panel at the present in the banner at the bottom of the website.
What are cookies?
Cookies are short text fragments (letters and/or numbers) that allow the web server to store information on the client (the browser) to be re-used during the same visit to the site (session cookies) or afterwards, even for long periods (persistent cookies). The cookies are stored, according to user preferences, by the individual browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone). Similar technologies can be used to collect information about user behaviour and the use of services. In the remainder of this document, we will refer to cookies and all similar technologies by simply using the term “cookies”.
What are the main categories of cookies?
According to the characteristics and use of cookies different categories can be distinguished: Strictly necessary cookies or technical cookies. These are cookies that are essential for the proper functioning of our site and are used to manage login and access to the site’s restricted functions, in general to speed up, improve or personalise the level of service to users. The duration of cookies is either strictly limited to the work session (when the browser is closed, they are deleted), or of longer duration, aimed at recognising the visitor’s computer. Their deactivation may affect the use of services accessible by login, while the public part of the site remains normally usable. Analysis and performance cookies. These are cookies used to collect and analyse site traffic and usage on an anonymous and aggregated basis. These cookies, either first-party or third-party, while not identifying the user, make it possible, for example, to detect whether the same user returns at different times. They also make it possible to monitor the system and improve its performance and usability. These cookies can be deactivated without any loss of functionality. Profiling cookies. These are permanent cookies used to identify (anonymously and non-anonymously) the user’s preferences and improve their browsing experience, in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user when browsing the web. Due to the particular invasiveness that such devices may have within the private sphere of users, European and Italian law requires that users must be adequately informed about the use of such devices and thus express their valid consent. Third-party cookies. When you visit a website, you may receive cookies either from the site you are visiting (owner or publisher) or from sites operated by other organisations (third parties) through the former. One example is the presence of ‘social plugins’ (for instance Facebook, Twitter, Google+) aimed at sharing content on social networks. The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties. The management of the information collected by third parties is governed by the relevant policies to which attention should be paid.
